Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump didn’t mince words talking about Georgia officials during his August 3 visit to Atlanta.
Trump took verbal shots at Gov. Brian Kemp, Secretary of State Brian Raffensperger and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to the delight of the crowd.
On Gov. Brian Kemp, Trump credited himself with getting him elected.
“He’s a disloyal guy, and he’s a very average governor. Little Brian. Little Brian Kemp. Bad guy,” Trump said.
Kemp also responded to a comment made by Kemp’s wife, who said that Trump had not “earned” her vote.
On social media, Kemp responded to Trump, saying: “My focus is on winning this November and saving our country from Kamala Harris and the Democrats – not engaging in petty personal insults, attacking fellow Republicans, or dwelling on the past. You should do the same, Mr. President, and leave my family out of it.“
As if what he said about the Georgia officials weren’t enough, Trump also trashed them on his social network Truth Social.
Raffensperger responded in kind after Trump said he needed him to do “his job” when it came to elections: “Georgia’s elections are secure. The winner here in November will reflect the will of the people. History has taught us this type of message doesn’t sell well here in Georgia, sir.”
